NVIDIA has just launched the Jetson T2000 and T3000 “mainstream” modules as smaller and lower cost options to the Jetson T4000/T5000 modules introduced last year for Edge AI and robotics applications.
The Jetson Thor T3000 and the industrial version IGX Thor T3000, which adds functional safety, both deliver up to 865 FP4 TFLOPS of AI compute. They feature a 1536-core NVIDIA Blackwell GPU, an eight-core Neoverse Arm CPU, 32GB of LPDDR5X memory with 273GB/s bandwidth, and 25 GbE connectivity. The Jetson Thor T2000 delivers up to 400 TFLOPS of AI performance, features a 1024-core Blackwell GPU, 16GB LPDDR5 with 137GB/s bandwidth, and 10 GbE networking. Both are about half the size of the Jetson T4000/T5000 modules.
Here’s a preliminary comparison between the Jetson Thor T2000, T3000, T4000, and T5000 modules.

It’s preliminary because, as I write this article, NVIDIA has yet to provide the full specifications for the new T2000 and T3000 modules. Instead, I relied on the announcement and the specifications for the upcoming AAEON BOXER-8752AI and BOXER-8723AI fanless embedded BOX PCs based on T2000 and T3000, respectively.
